all right Eagle Nation the birds just got some significant injury news about a position they are already thin at could this cause significant concern ahead of their week one matchup just a few days from kicking off Eagles vers Packers in Brazil and just moments ago we get this update from Ian Rapaport Eagles linebacker Devin white who is dealing with an ankle injury is not traveling to Brazil with the team and is declared out for Friday night versus the Green Bay Packers wow Boom Out of Nowhere what is going on with the Eagles linebacking core we know that they're thin we know that there's competition there and when we look at the injury report yesterday this was the first time we heard of anything AJ Brown and Landon Dickerson were resting Isaiah Rogers had a hand injury and Devon White had an ankle he was the only one that was held out everybody else seems good to go we're still sure and inged to see what happens at some of these other positions but you know Deon White's been a bit quiet in training camp I mean we thought everything was fine but now apparently he's been dealing with an ankle injury and he will miss his first game as a Philadelphia Eagle now it's not like Devon white has set the world on fire or he's one of the best linebackers in the league you know he's coming off a down year last season but he signs a one-year deal and the Eagles as we know have not always prioritized linebacker they're pretty thin at the position and there's still some pretty good question marks that lie there right and Devon white was supposed to be your main guy and now two days before the game you find out you're going to be without him so what does that do now for this team where does that leave them it's a pretty tough situation to be in if we're being honest now let's hope that some of the other guys can step up we know that Jeremiah trer Jr who was a fifth round pick had a pretty good camp is he ready to step in week one I don't know you know what about Zack bour I mean now he becomes the main guy and I've said all training camp in offseason that I'm still not 100% confident in Zack Bon you know I liked his tape I liked uh what he was like coming out of college and he's been mainly a special teams guy with New Orleans but can he step up and be the guy on Friday night now he really has to be the guy with no Devin white Kobe Dean step in still pretty unproven but he's going to get a sure opportunity to prove himself this weekend and he's going to have to other than those guys who else did they have Orin Burks Ben van sueran right maybe they'll try to experiment a little bit with Nolan Smith the Eagles are in a tough spot now right their defense has had a lot of questions they are looking uh to come out here and make a statement in week one and now they're out they're without the middleman you know the guy who's supposed to help direct things and lead parts of that defense in Devin white and it is frustrating that you know he's out dealing with an ankle injury we hope that he'll be okay and be able to return for week two but now now the Eagles have some questions to answer so what will happen with this team I guess we'll have to wait and see surley will'll probably hear from them today about the status of this injury if they uh you know even land in Brazil we don't know what time they're taking off but it's about a 10-hour flight so you already have you know things going on there and the Eagles now have some decisions to make so we'll see what happens Devon white out on Friday night what do you think this does for the Eagles who do you think will step up give me your thoughts down below appreciate everybody for tapping in be sure to like comment and subscribe also real quick let's go ahead and give a shout out to our sponsor of today's video it is the great bmgm enjoy all your favorite sports like never before at bmgm sign up using our code atpa and get up to $1,000 back in bonus bets if you do not win your first bet when you register with B MGM you'll get instant access to parlays live bets player props and daily boosted odd specials and with bet MGM at your fingertips every play and every game matter more than ever so sign up today with the bonus code atpa and get up to $1,000 back in bonus bets if you do not win your first bet brought to you by bmgm the sports book born in Vegas download the app today please gamble responsibly [Music] a
